rtos mailbox

Can anyone suggest me a text/website where I can find good material about the design and working of Mailboxes in RTOS...all the sources I have checked till now provide only a brief overview of mailboxes but do not talk about the actual (C) implementation etc.

Try book Jean J. Labrosse: MicroC/OS-II The Real-Time Kernel.

thanks...but I was looking for a more general discussion on the implementation of mailboxes and other message passing techniques

rtos mailboxes

You can download the code for FreeRTOS at https://www.freertos.org

Look at the queue.c and queue.h for mailbox implementations.

Also there is an example that uses the mailboxes...

Have you look for Kernel books on topic EBOOK Download/Upload? In this topics has some books, I'm not sure about content, but maybe you can find MAILBOX in one....

mailbox + rtos

i think you should read in the documentation of the type of RTOS, what you want to use. Because there are many differences between different RTOS systems. Everywhere u should use xxxpost() and xxxpend() functions, but with different parameterlist, and different modes of creation of mailboxes, different blocking options...

mailbox related functions in a rtos

thanks for the replies.....I didn't want to read the documentation for a specific RTOS as I wanted to re-write my own RTOS to include mailbox support...however I think I will take your advices and read through the specific implementations first and then try to write my own
